University District · FAQ
Questions from locals
Do students get appointments between classes?
Yes — that’s exactly what the short services are for. Brow threading takes about 10 minutes and an underarm wax about 15, and the ION gets you from campus to Uptown in about 5. Book the exact slot on Jane App so you’re back in time, or walk in when there’s a gap. Students save 10% with valid ID.
Which ION stop do I use from UW or Laurier?
Board southbound at University of Waterloo or Laurier–Waterloo Park station and get off at Willis Way, the southbound Uptown stop on Caroline St; walk a block east to King St and a few minutes south to 116 King St S. Heading back to campus, catch the northbound train at Waterloo Public Square.
Can I walk from Laurier to MK Elegance Studio?
Easily — it’s about a 15-minute walk south along King Street from Wilfrid Laurier University into Uptown Waterloo, past Waterloo Public Square to 116 King St S. From the University of Waterloo’s main campus it’s closer to 30 minutes, so the ION is the better bet.
